+Renegade Knight Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Ok ok. I'll email a vote for three avitars when the time comes. Are you going to post a summary list of avitars so we can see it all at a glance? There really are quite a few good ones out there. Quote Link to comment

+sept1c_tank Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 There's more than a hundred candidates! It's going to be hard to vote without some kind of condensed ballot. I think you should post a list of 20 or so finalists (picked by you or someone) so the voting will be easier. I also think you (or someone) should include me on that list! ============="If it feels good...do it"============== **(the other 9 out of 10 voices in my head say: "Don't do it.")** .

+Marky Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 To help with the reviewing of avatars, I'll put up a web page that lists them all with their associated geocacher name. Anyone who wants their avatar to be included, e-mail me. I'll make the page display the avatars in a random order each time it is displayed so there won't be more views of the people at the top of the page.

radical geezer Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Thanks, El Diablo, for a neat competition - and thanks, Yrium, for alerting the southwestern group to it. A personalized hiking stick - how great is that?! If I win (and I can't imagine that my suave and sophisticated visage wouldn't be selected for this honor), I'll even change the picture on my profile page to reflect my good fortune. Here's the current profile pic... Peace, Radical Geezer P.S. Guess I should note that the profile pic of me and the wife wasn't created for this competition - it's the only profile pic I've used. Just a bit of serendipity. [This message was edited by radical geezer on July 24, 2003 at 10:51 AM.] [This message was edited by radical geezer on July 24, 2003 at 10:54 AM.] Quote Link to comment
